Strange, same here. I just looked at my studio pie chart the other day, but it seems to have disappeared from the stats page now.

They're going fast. Down to just 8 pages of movies. Kudos to whomever wiped out their clear case stash. I just missed out on them!

There, directly to the right of my user name, is a list that reads out:

MOVIES STATS COLLECTION REVIEWS PRICE TRACKER GALLERY LISTS MORE...

When I click on "STATS" I come up with some fun information. But, NOT a summary of the percentages of which companies released the titles in my collection....

The pie chart stats are accessed from viewing your Blu-ray collection (not My Collection) and choosing the "statistics" link at the top. It's the same area where you could manage your "categories". Just click on your collection below your Avatar and it takes you right were you need to go. However, as the balconyfool has pointed out, those links don't seem to be available right now. Even the "manage categories" link is missing. Odd...

That's actually up. I mentioned some posts back that when I went on during the wee hours to snag a bunch, I went through to check what was available before deciding on a buy-list. At that point, it was 7 pages (with just a handful on p.7). When I went to start adding titles, it was down to six pages (and two titles on my buy list were gone). After completing my order, I was back checking on some titles, and it was back to 7, with just two titles on p.7, one of which was one of the two titles I had originally wanted.

If it got back up to 8 pages, I guess someone cancelled their order. Or they found more copies of some titles.

On edit: Down to 6 pages now, and Who'll Stop the Rain has disappeared again (that's the one I referred to above that was there, disappeared, and came back).

Huh.... I wonder if there's any way to get blu-ray.com to restore the "percentage of releases by distributor" statistic. I would have no idea who to ask... One neat new statistic, in this new revamped statistics page, is the ability to view your collection by year of release. (Or, if this statistics page isn't new, I've never noticed it before, at any rate.) Here's the chart I got. I added the dates on the bottom for clarity: on the page itself, the chart is interactive and when you move your cursor over any column it tells you the year and number of films you have from that year. Looks like I have a soft spot for the 1950s, with 1955 being the pinnacle!

Wow, they've really sold out of a lot of titles! When I placed my order one-and-a-half days ago, there were 153 titles on the list. At the moment, the list is down to 71. So---over half are gone. I wasn't expecting them to sell this quickly.

[Bradsdadg]

I had I think about 18 titles on my watch list, it's down to 4 now. Selling out left and right. I'm just hoping it's true film fans getting these titles~and not scalpers

[belcherman]

So, I jumped on the TT site Sunday night and quickly started adding stuff to my cart. It was kind of random, but I ended up with 12 titles:

[Show spoiler]

Of course, in my haste I left out a couple that I wanted, so I went back this morning and ordered four more:

[Show spoiler]

Unfortunately, I also missed out on a couple of titles that sold out in the meantime. I'd like to say that I'm done buying Twilight Time releases, but I know that's probably not true. I'm pretty sure that I'm done for now, though.

Thanks for the ride, Twilight Time.

SAE no longer gives you the option to have your package sent media mail to save a few bucks on shipping?

have you been out of the country for awhile?

[bdgking]

I am going to skip posting any low quantities at Twilight Time as all is selling out fast & in many cases to fast to keep up with .

The most recent titles sold out between the 2 sites are :

La Moglie Piu Bella
Gun Fury
To Sir With Love


Lowest quantities remaining at SAE available & most likely will sell out fastest now are :

Peyton Place
Cutters Way
Flaming Star
Theatre of Blood
Eye of The Needle
Strange Invaders
Zelig
Alamo Bay

Both sites stopped offering that option in Nov or Dec it seems

I hope they all sell out so that SAE doesn't get a single extra copy of anything.

Everyone's mentioning scalpers but I wouldn't be surprised if smaller movie stores are just stocking up one last time.

[MassiveMovieBuff]

This is definitely sad news for me. I watched my blu ray copy of The Driver last night not thinking it's a TT release and it was a bittersweet feeling being grateful that it got a blu ray release (as well as being able to snag a copy literally right before it sold out) but also sad that TT will be no more. I own a nice amount of TT blu rays. At Close Range is another treasure I'm eternally grateful to TT for releasing on blu.

Guess there's been some fluctuations but it probably is a good idea to get orders in now. I snoozed and the only title left I'd like to get is The Pirates of Blood River. For just one title I'll pass and get it elsewhere.

Can't beat these prices. Get them while you can.

Looks like the pie-charts statistics page is back. Put the cursor over "My blu-ray.com" on the upper right of this page, then click on "my collection" --> "blu-ray." Then, in the small print under your username you'll find a lot of options, including "statistics." Click on that for the pie charts.

At the present time, 23% of my blu-ray collection is made up of Twilight Time titles. So, this company meant a great deal to me....

[noirjunkie]

I just looked at the list and was shocked to see that copies of 10 Rillington Place (1971) are still available for $6.95. How is that possible? If there's a single title out of the remaining stock that should be sold out by now at that price point, it's this one.

I can assure you that if there are small stores buying up inventory, they're not doing it to break even. Which considering their own shipping and handling charges would already mean that they'd have to sell higher than today's TT prices to achieve just that.
